Notes About The Poem
Inspired by the poem (loss of speed) https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/loss_of_speed_1602061

DATSON

D is for desire, your thoughts do aspire. 
A is for attractive, internally and externally reactive
T is for tough, not hard but ten ply enough
S is for sincere, a pillar of truth to all you hold dear
O is for orderly, a lifelong passion you are extraordinary
N is for normal, step outside of the box that is so formal

It is I believe an English surname. The inspiration for the acrostic was from another poet. The link was placed in my notes to the poem. Thank you very much for the kind words! A.S.
